  • Numerous specimen of the Strandbeest evolution on music of Khachaturian's Spartacus.
    It open the archives of fossils. Theo Jansen's work since 1990. He tries to make new forms of live on beaches. His animals get their energy from the wind so they don't have to eat. In the future he wants to put out in herds.

      I studied biochem at uni and was especially interested in the evolutionary side of things, so maybe I see these creations in a similar way to you
      They do look very organic, don't they?
      And it makes you wonder like... are we/our cells just machines in the same way, mechanically responding to stimuli as a direct result of it being applied, like the movements of these strandbeests under the influence of the wind?
      I get a similar vibe from watching these strandbeests as when I see videos of bdelloid rotifers eating other microorganisms, with all their lil cillia waving about...
      But thats a very mechanistic way of looking at it.

      I was thinking that too. Not that they are scary but that the whole video seems kind of lonely. A cross between a Miyazaki film like Castles in the Sky and Vincent Price in Edward Scissorshands. Only one man, his long gray hair flying in the wind as he works on his creations. I am sure the choice of music had a lot to do with that ambiance.

      It's sad, because their creator is no longer alive, and the beach is empty.
      Bizarre, because of how they look.
      And horrifying.... because of how weird their movements are and just how alien they seem. I imagine the group of travelers who find the Strandbeests walking towards them would be thinking "OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS THING?!?"

    “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”.
    What’s so fascinating is that the technology isn’t necessarily all that sophisticated and yet it carries the aura of magic. Would all but the bravest savages who saw it from the sea dare to land? I could not blame them if they sailed on to safer shores.

      New painting series idea? Maybe a short story to go along with it? Boy wakes up on mysterious earth like planet with these walking around? Doesn't know where they came from, how long he was asleep, who built them, or how they work? They just kind of wander around with the wind, ignoring him? Finds old dying man living in lighthouse (with an elaborate unseen inside of course)? Man explains everything? Man built creatures after he was stranded on the planet and got lonely? They now inhabit the planet? Oh my gosh let me write this all down this is getting good. "the Lighthouse man"

Its just a drawing right now of this area on top of a mountain, but I might include a picture of a village with strandbeest in it. I have a plot figured out and if I am not too lazy I might put it into action as a small webcomic or something
